Thanks to the Muir family for a great blog post about Things. If you haven’t experienced a “Thing”, it similar to a chocolate truffle but slightly larger. Thing’s have a very moist cake based center. We have them in several flavors – the newest is German chocolate. Why not stop by a give one a try.

If you’d like to connect with us on Facebook we have a group that you can join. Right now it looks like we have more than 300 friends of Hazel Hill – Thanks!

As we approach the warmer months of the year you may notice that our shipping rates are higher and the options are fewer. Chocolate is very fragile and the summer heat can turn a beautiful chocolate into a gooey mess. A high quality chocolate will turn liquid at about 84 degrees, the only way to make it tolerate the heat better would be to add ingredients that would negatively impact the taste mouth feel of our products – we don’t do that. So we’ll only be shipping via overnight or 2nd day and your cost will include special packaging to make sure that your order arrives in excellent condition.

If you’re looking for a treat that will hold up to the heat, try fudge! Fudge will get a bit softer when it’s warm but it will not melt. If you stop by our store on a hot day we have frozen bananas, cheesecake slices and ice cream – hand dipped in our quality chocolate while you watch. This is not some hard shell coating from a jar, we make it from the same chocolate we use to make the fine items your enjoy in our store everyday.

Take a look at the video that appeared on KSNT It’s in a segment called Kelli’s Cameo with Kelli Stegeman. This is part 1 and we’ll post part 2 shortly.

Thanks to Kelli and the crew for coming to visit us!

Easter is coming up soon. We are selling our handmade fudge eggs as fast as we can make them. If you’re looking for Easter treats, stop by soon!

Don’t forget that we’re also happy to ship a gift anywhere.

Thanks to all the folks who took advantage of our free fudge on Customer Appreciation Day (3/26). Every year we thank our customers by giving away a free piece of our delicious fudge to every customer who makes any purchase. This is our way of thanking the people and city that have supported us.

Our goal this year was to give away 150lbs of fudge. I’m happy to report that we gave away more than 200lbs! The shop was crowded all day and we did our best to server everybody – we appreciate your patience.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Hazel Hill the past 3yrs.

We had a very busy Valentines day. It was great to see so many people getting Hazel Hill chocolates for their loved ones. By far the most popular item was chocolate covered strawberries. We made hundreds of pounds over the last couple of days. As you know, they only last one day so our staff has been starting as early as 2:00am the last few days to get them ready. We’re thrilled with how many people enjoy them.

One of the side effects of all the folks coming to visit us is that the lines can be a bit long. We’re sorry for the wait and if we missed your phone call. You might be interested to know that we served a customer very 90 seconds over the last two days. As you can image, our staff has to really hustle to keep up that pace. We really appreciate the patience show by our customers as we tried to help everyone.

Thanks to everyone who visited Hazel Hill for Valentines Day.

We are now providing a RSS feed, see link above, of our news if you’d like to keep up to date with Hazel Hill.

We’ve been asked by many friends and fans how is our business doing in light of all the sad economic news. We’ve also been worried about the impact these times would have on our business, it’s very hard to feel “OK” when so many people are being hurt all around us. We’re happy to report that we are doing fine, our sales for the 2008 holiday season exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank you enough. We have been blessed with great staff members and customers who make it all possible. Thank you!

We look forward to many more years serving downtown Topeka.
